As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing
protectors, gloves and workshop apron
capable of stopping small abrasive or
workpiece fragments. The eye protection
must be capable of stopping fl ying debris
generated by various operations. The dust
mask or respirator must be capable of fi ltrating
particles generated by your operation.
Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise
may cause hearing loss.
h) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from
work area. Anyone entering the work area
must wear personal protective equipment.
Fragments of workpiece or of a broken
accessory may fl y away and cause injury
beyond immediate area of operation.
i)
Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an
operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool
"live" and shock the operator.
j)
Position the cord clear of the spinning
accessory. If you lose control, the cord may
be cut or snagged and your hand or arm may
be pulled into the spinning accessory.
k) Never lay the power tool down until the
accessory has come to a complete stop.
The spinning accessory may grab the surface
and pull the power tool out of your control.
l)
Do not run the power tool while carrying
it at your side. Accidental contact with the
spinning accessory could snag your clothing,
pulling the accessory into your body.
m) Regularly clean the power tool's air vents.
The motor's fan will draw the dust inside
the housing and excessive accumulation of
powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.
n) Do not operate the power tool near
fl ammable materials. Sparks could ignite
these materials.
o) Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants
may result in electrocution or shock.
FURTHER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR ALL OPERATIONS
Causes and Operator Prevention of
Kickback
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or
snagged rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or
64
any other accessory. Pinching or snagging causes
rapid stalling of the rotating accessory which in
turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be
forced in the direction opposite of the accessory's
rotation at the point of the binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or
pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the wheel
that is entering into the pinch point can dig into
the surface of the material causing the wheel to
climb out or kick out. The wheel may either jump
toward or away from the operator, depending on
direction of the wheel's movement at the point of
pinching. Abrasive wheels may also break under
these conditions.
Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or
incorrect operating procedures or conditions and
can be avoided by taking proper precautions as
given below:
a) Maintain a fi rm grip on the power tool
and position your body and arm to allow
you to resist kickback forces. Always use
auxiliary handle, if provided, for maximum
control over kickback or torque reaction
during start up. The operator can control
torque reaction or kickback forces, if proper
precautions are taken.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating
accessory. Accessory may kickback over your
hand.
c) Do not position your body in the area where
power tool will move if kickback occurs.
Kickback will propel the tool in direction
opposite to the wheel's movement at the point
of snagging.
d) Use special care when working corners,
sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and
snagging the accessory. Corners, sharp
edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag
the rotating accessory and cause loss of
control or kickback.
e) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving
blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades
create frequent kickback and loss of control.
Safety Warnings Specifi c for Grinding
and Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations
a) Use only wheel types that are
recommended for your power tool and the
specifi c guard designed for the selected
wheel. Wheels for which the power tool was
not designed cannot be adequately guarded
and are unsafe.
